Top IP developments and predictions across Asia-Pacific

APAC region

We look back at the top developments over the last 12 months in Intellectual Property (IP) and we look to the future by offering our top predictions for the coming year for businesses operating across Asia Pacific (APAC) with an emphasis on mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Over the last year, we have seen the continuous and rapid development of IP systems in APAC jurisdictions, including the reciprocal enforcement of IP judgments between Hong Kong and mainland China and innovative Chinese court decisions on FRAND rates and the copyright of AI-generated images.  Over the coming year, we expect further development in IP and more attention to be paid to IP compliance issues in emerging areas.

Our experts will be closely monitoring these developments and predictions during the course of the year, providing regular updates and analysis through free platforms such as our eAlert service, Law-Now, LinkedIn at ‘CMS Asia Pacific’ and on WeChat at ‘CMS Asia’.

For now, we hope you find our reflections on 2023 and our predictions for 2024 both interesting and helpful as you plan for the year ahead.
